Navigating Trade Tensions—Stronger Together Along the Belt & Road

Under the theme “Navigating Trade Tensions—Stronger Together Along the Belt and Road“, this year’s RemaxWorld Expo in Zhuhai promises to be a platform of sustaining trade connectivity, infrastructure cooperation, and digital innovation.

Deepening BRI Connectivity and Innovation

In recent years, China has actively expanded the Digital Silk Road: advanced technology and digital economy cooperation are now key pillars of Belt and Road collaboration.

One report notes that “AI technology has increasingly played a pivotal role in bridging the digital divide among BRI countries.” Joint initiatives, like the China–Laos AI Innovation Cooperation Center, aim to “promote the development of AI for the greater good, benefiting all of humanity“.

The expo’s conference and technical sessions will highlight these trends, aligning with BRI goals to “constantly expand cooperation in new areas such as the digital economy, and innovation.” Participants can expect to hear about cutting-edge smart manufacturing, e-commerce platforms, and AI-driven services that tie into the BRI framework.

Addressing Trade and Tax Headwinds

Industry analysts warn that the constantly changed tariffs can “wipe out profit margins entirely with a 25% tax on imported components is forcing firms to either absorb steep costs or pass them on to customers“.

RemaxWorld Expo offers a practical remedy: it connects buyers with hundreds of suppliers, enabling diverse sourcing that can mitigate protectionist shocks. By meeting alternative partners and discovering new products on-site, companies can spread risk across markets and even find tariff-friendly cooperation possibilities.

RemaxWorld: A Global BRI Platform

Now in its 19th year, RemaxWorld Expo has evolved into the premier global gathering for the print consumables industry, especially for countries along the Belt and Road.

Attendance from One Belt One Road (OBOR) countries has grown steadily each year, and in 2024 roughly half of all foreign visitors hailed from BRI-associated markets.

This diversity reflects the expo’s broad reach into Asia, Africa, the Middle East and beyond. No surprise then that one longtime visitor praised RemaxWorld as “an excellent place to find everything needed in the printing industry”. The 2025 edition will continue that legacy, with delegates from every continent sharing insights on overcoming regional challenges together.

China Opens Up – Zhuhai Welcomes You

With Q3 2024 foreign arrivals jumping 48.8% year-on-year, Zhuhai itself is emerging as an inbound hotspot. Recent holiday data placed Zhuhai among “top inbound travel choices” for foreign visitors, thanks to its blend of high-tech industry and seaside scenery.

The city is “a major hub for manufacturers and suppliers”, with some of China’s most advanced factories just minutes from the convention center. Expo attendees will enjoy Zhuhai’s coastal charm and tech tours alongside business matchmaking – a fitting example of “people-to-people exchanges” in action
